Cover Reveal: Solstice by P.J. Hoover

Author P.J. Hoover was kind enough to ask me for help in spreading the word about her upcoming YA novel, Solstice, and as such...we have the cover reveal for you all today!

First, more on the book-

Piper's world is dying. Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that threaten to destroy the earth. Amid this global heating crisis, Piper lives under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for freedom.

Piper discovers a universe she never knew existed—a sphere of gods and monsters—and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper’s life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.

An imaginative melding of mythology and dystopia, Solstice is the first YA novel by talented newcomer P. J. Hoover.

About the Author-

P. J. Hoover first fell in love with Greek mythology in sixth grade thanks to the book Mythology by Edith Hamilton. After a fifteen year bout as an electrical engineer designing computer chips for a living, P. J. decided to take her own stab at mythology and started writing books for kids and teens. When not writing, P. J. spends time with her husband and two kids and enjoys practicing kung fu, solving Rubik's cubes, and watching Star Trek.

And finally, the cover!

Isn't that awesome? I really love the colors. They are bright and very unique for covers I've seen. I like the lettering of Solstice as well, like it's blowing away on the wind...too cool!

Want to know just what the blurb on the cover reads?

“Solstice is one red-hot read—it intrigues, sizzles, and satisfies.” —Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York Times bestselling author

oooh I'm sold. What about the rest of you?!

The author is hosting an amazing giveaway on her blog at the moment, so be sure to check that out. It's in honor of the cover release, but it's not a copy of the book (giveaways will come for that in the next couple months). It's still some amazing items, though, so don't miss out!
